Three weeks ago, my next-door 60 year old neighbor came very close
to death from a ruptured brain annurism suffered while humping
away on his nice looking 59 year old wife.

Now....that's the way I would like to go, but at 73 years of age, I
haven't been able to talk his wife into it yet.

That wreckage looks brutal. It took me a while to figure out that
orange and white painted piece of metal was the trailing underside of
a wing.

What could be the cause? He was presumably a good pilot, and from what I
understand the weather was clear. And yet the news says it looks like the
aircraft hit the mountain head on. Mechanical failure? Sudden incapacitation
of the pilot? Bad piloting (seems unlikely, with all he had survived
previously)? Suicide?

USA Today is reporting that the wreckage has been identified as his.
No remains in the wreckage, but the description of the crash does not
sound survivable.

Interestingly there is an airport very near the crash site (KMMH). We
may never find out what the cause of the crash was, but one thing was
for sure...

On Fossett's last flight he was flying a Decathlon on a nice day in the
mountains. I can think of worse ways to go.

Gang Butt Raped in prison by a big blue gum named Leroy will

Funny how your mind works.

Well, not so much funny as scary.

Another mystery is why no one witnessed the crash (and resulting
fire). Mammoth Lakes is a small city - and the
surrounding area would have had many people about on a holiday
weekend.

The Mammoth Lakes area is a huge wilderness area and you can go for
hours without seeing signs of humans; he didn't crash in the city.

From the map I saw, the crash site was west and a little to the north of
Mammoth mountain which would have been well out of site of the town.
